year 001 [video]

Uh. Hello. Since everyone's sort of introducing themselves and we're all stuck here, I thought I should probably... also do that.

I'm Rory Williams, I'm from Earth and I'm a nurse. Was a nurse. [ Technically never was one, also I'm a security guard on the lookout for threats these days more than anything. Ha. No. Way too much to get into. ] I mean, it's a little complicated. But I'm definitely still qualified and I'm always awake, so. If anybody needed a nurse for... some reason. I'll be around.

[ Annnnnd so tempted to ask, so tempted. Ever that should I/shouldn't I dilemma, only it's not a very big one, he's asking anyway. ] Sorry, really need to clarify something. The universe isn't ending right now, right? You can't exactly fly a ship through something that doesn't exist, so I've kind of been assuming it's all clear. Just for the record. Um. Thank you.

I don't think anything is ending. I'm not an expert--but we're here, aren't we?

[Annie that significantly more hesitantly than a not-crazy person. But whatever! She smiles fragilely at the camera.]

What kind of nurse are you?

[She--has needs.]

[righteoushog]

You're always awake? Sounds like a seriously busy schedule.

—Oh, and, uh, I'm pretty sure the universe is holding out okay.

I've been taking that as a good sign, yeah. We're definitely here. [ All neatly sucked into intergalactic travels. He flashes a brief smile of his own. ] Ahh, I'm just the regular sort of nurse, I guess? Medical and all- helping patients get cleaned up, giving out medications, taking care of people.

[lifeinplastic]

It gets that way sometimes. I've had a lot of spare time for hobbies, though. [ He's really liking everyone's odds of not being at the center of a disastrous universal implosion. ]

[righteoushog]

Yeah? You take up knitting yet?

[lifeinplastic]

I've been working on it. I'm not all that great yet.

[righteoushog]

Well, let me know when you get it down. I could really use a new— [ NEED A THING THAT HUMANS WEAR ] ...Uh. Hat.

1/2 only for you baby

['nurse'

'nurse'

'nurse'



nope]

[Okay to be fair, a few days ago he was knifing monster nurses left and right--the word isn't exactly bringing up much else for him at the moment. He rubs a hand over his face because if that is the first thing he thinks about, he really needs to re-evaluate his life.

LIKE HE HASN'T ALREADY.

Oh is this recording.]

... The universe is ending? Looks pretty alright to me so far.

[Please don't be one of those guys who think the world'll end in 2012 or something.]

[ Oh Rory, bb. She really did miss you, even if you ask the most ridiculous questions. ]

I could have told you the universe wasn't ending, numpty. Even though I might have asked myself that question. [ an awkward pause. how do you even word this? 'oh, by the way...' ] Because, erm. There's another me. On this ship.

[jurisimpudent]

"Always awake"?

[the_vishual]

The ending of the universe is not a theory that's been brought up, sir.

[lifeinplastic]

[ Ffft. ]

As long as you don't want a fez. [ no rory you dork ]

[lifeinplastic]

Thought it might be worth asking, just- [ You never know, you really never do.

Amy are you saying what he thinks you are saying. ] ...really?

[righteoushog]

A fez? You mean that tall round thing? Way uncool, I think I can do without one of those.

those pictures were never meant to surface :'|

[lifeinplastic]

[ u ok ]

Well, it was. Where I was coming in from, I guess. Not so much... out here. Things got really confusing.

[voice]

[lifeinplastic]

...yes? [ is he in trouble. ] It's a really long story, but, yes.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Is that hyperbole, or can you actually not sleep?

[lifeinplastic]

[ OH NO A KID HEARD THAT

but, plus side, not sounding freaked out. ] It's not? That might be a good thing. I mean- it's probably not ending anyway, it doesn't look like it is, I just wanted to ask.

[voice]

[lifeinplastic]

Oh no, I actually don't sleep. Sorry.

[lifeinplastic]

I think we can call it a deal, then. Uhm. What's your name?

[righteoushog]

Oh, sorry— I'm Brooklyn. And you?

[jilt]

A nurse? Oh, the Watsons are going to adore you.

[firstofficer]

Welcome aboard. I imagine your services will be- called upon more frequently than you would prefer.

[lifeinplastic]

Rory. It's nice to meet you. You know, not counting the trapped in space thing.
